As we explained in our recent post “Meta’s Big Shift: EU Users Will Decide on Ad Personalisation by 2026” the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) requires major technology platforms to respect user rights.
These platforms are designated as Gatekeepers under the DMA because they act as critical gateways between businesses and consumers, hold significant economic power, and operate core services used by millions every day.
The companies officially designated as gatekeepers are:
- Alphabet (Google)
- Amazon
- Apple
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp)
- Microsoft
- ByteDance (TikTok)
- Booking.com
Their size and reach allow them to influence the rules of entire digital markets, which is why the DMA imposes strict obligations to ensure fair competition and protect user rights.
